Event Planning
Event planning is a fast-paced industry the demands attention to detail and a high level of organization. Event 
planners organize fundraisers, music festivals, weddings, private parties, corporate product launches, and other elaborate events. The event planning industry has grown enormously in the last 10 to 15 years and continues to grow today. An event planner may be involved in selecting an event site, contracting vendors, creating event promotions, and conducting research for the event.
As a Discovery event planning intern you may be arranging the décor, food and entertainment or creating guest lists and working “the door.” Event planning duties often include running the event on the day of the celebration, interacting with the host, bride or special guest. As an intern you could research event sites, work on advertising and promotions for the event, coordinate logistics, and much more.

- Attended client meetings and worked on client proposals
- Helped to present prospective event details to clients
- Assisted with preparing materials for events
- Worked with people-team work and communication to make the event come together successfully
- And much, much more...
